I think that Guillaume is one princes very well prepared... I believe that he´ll a good governor

[maha01]

Yes Guillaume will make a fine Grand Duke one day :p

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

Does place royal even have a set schedule?

[kaydura0717]

I agree HGD Guillaume is the most well versed and well prepared young princes in line to their own throne.

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

Yes, he probably is.

[GreenLily]

Him and Victoria, although she may be considered a part of the "older crowd" with Felipe, Haakon and Fredrick...but then, who else is there in line to a throne?

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

Honestly, most of them are much older than him.

[kaydura0717]

Prince William is left and I feel sorry for him because I don't think he is prepared for his future role at all.

But he has alot of time since he has his father before him. Guillaume doesn't have that.

How is this so? Charles will have a relatively short reign since his mother, the Queen will never abdicate and will live a fairly long life if her mother, the Queen Mum is any indication.

In Luxembourg there is a precedence of abdication (Jean abdicated in favour of Henri, and Henri could possibly abdicate in a few decades in favour of Guillaume), so even though Henri is ruling before Charles, he could stop ruling before he dies, which Charles is unlikely to do.

I think both Guillaume and William will have roughly the same amount of experience when they each take to their respective thrones. William will probably have more experience since Great Britain has more international ties, even if Guillaume has taken on his hereditary grand duke duties before William has taken on official duties.

I wonder as he is 25 years old?? Does he have to be married to be the duke?

I think the assumption is that if Charles dies after he turns 100 then William has almost another 40 years to prepare to become King. Whereas, if Henri abdicates at 60 or 65 then Guillaume will be Grand Duke in fifteen years' time so he has less time to get experience before becoming sovereign (not less experience as Grand Duke but less time to prepare for it). Although I guess William will become Prince of Wales before he becomes king and that carries a lot of responsibility too, (though obviously not as much as being the head of state.)

I don't think that's a legal requirement, but I'm pretty sure Henri will hold on until Guillaume is married and has a few children. :)

The Grand Ducal family's schedules have never been publicly posted as far as I know. You might be able to find some information at the government's site, http://www.gouvernement.lu, if you know French.

Not really. If he never gets married, then he will still become the Grand Duke after his father is deceased or abdicates.
